Yun Heng was in a hurry to enter the palace, so he didn't delay long before leaving.

As soon as he left, Xia Shuang ran over, "Gege, Gege!" What did you just say? How...... Why is it still like that? Hugging and kissing, even she was shy to see it.

Xiyan was already embarrassed, so she blushed even more when she said it, and ignored her.

"Congratulations." Chunxue is also very happy, but she can't hide her words like Xia Shuang.

When Xi Yan saw the sincerity she said, she just faintly said, "Hmm." "Yes.

I don't know what Yun Heng said when he left, Xi Yan only felt that everyone looked at her strangely, and even Lao Fujin was very happy, although he didn't say anything, but he also seemed to imply that Yun Heng was a good boy, and he would definitely treat her well in the future, and Xi Yan was not embarrassed. Fortunately, Li Xuan had already left the house at this time, otherwise he didn't know how to squeeze her: obviously he just said yesterday that he was just a brother and sister to Yun Heng, but he turned around and wanted to marry someone else.

finally got to noon, but the queen mother suddenly sent a eunuch in the palace, saying that it was to pass Xiyan into the palace.

The Queen Mother summoned her, naturally she didn't dare to slack off, Xiyan hurriedly changed her clothes, said hello to the house, and got into the palace car.

It's not the first time I've seen the Queen Mother, but every time I come, I'm full of awe: such a person can decide how many people live and die, and how many people can be happy and sorrowful.

Thinking of this, Xiyan couldn't help but kneel down more cautiously and salute.

"Get up and speak." The Queen Mother said kindly. "Sit down."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

"Xiyan, do you know why the mourning family recruited you into the palace today?"

It seemed that she was going to talk about her and Yun Heng, and Xi Yan blushed. If you say you don't know, it's hypocritical, but if you say you know, how embarrassing it is. When he was hesitating, he only listened to the Queen Mother. "Naturally, it's for your family."

Xiyan listened silently.

"These days, the mourning family also wants to come and go, for fear of wronging you." The Queen Mother smiled, "Actually, this best family affair is far away in front of you." ”

Seeing that Xiyan didn't speak, the Queen Mother also knew that she was shy, so she continued, "You and Li Xuan's childhood sweetheart, marrying him is indeed the most suitable!" ”

Xiyan's heart at this time can be described as surprised? Not to mention her, even the spring snow behind her was startled, but she was a steady girl after all, and she made up her mind and patted her gently behind Xiyan's back, for fear that she would lose her posture in front of the Queen Mother.

"Too ...... Queen Mother," Xiyan's voice trembled a little, "Lord Rui...... It's been a long time since we've been married. ”

"Well, it's just that Ning Ruo has been doing nothing," the Queen Mother sighed lightly, "Li Xuan is not too young, so he can't just spend it like this." So ......"

"Queen Mother," before the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xiyan gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, "Xiyan is unwilling!" ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, no one would ever disobey her, let alone such a delicate little girl. When Chunxue saw her kneeling, she also quickly knelt down, so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe, but she was afraid that if she was not careful, her life would be lost here. The people waiting next to him were all terrified: Resisting the Queen Mother is going to kill her head!

"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, her voice was not loud, but Xiyan knew that she was already angry.

"Queen Mother, please forgive the Queen Mother!" She hurriedly kowtowed, "The prince Fujin and his wife are deeply affectionate, and the prince can't tolerate others in his eyes at all, so I ask the queen mother to learn from it!" ”

The Queen Mother looked at her coldly, and suddenly said, "Xiyan, you tell the mourning family honestly, but do you have other plans in your heart?" ”

Xiyan was shocked.

"Hehe," the Queen Mother sneered, "Just now the emperor has proposed a marriage for Yun Heng, have you heard?" ”

Xi Yan was horrified, so he had to say honestly, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Yes, you were on your way to the palace at that time." The Queen Mother thought for a while, "It's time for the Rui Wangfu to get the news now." ”

Xiyan listened silently.

"Do you know which girl the emperor is referring to?" The Queen Mother deliberately said slowly, "It's Fucha Mingzhu, the youngest daughter of the Fucha family." This kid is as his name suggests, and I'm afraid he's two or three years younger than you. ”

Xi Yan couldn't say what he felt for a while, disappointed, shocked, sad, but ...... There is also a hint of relief.

The Queen Mother saw Xiyan kneeling on the ground in a daze, so she made a gesture. Aunt Chang Xi went down with a group of slaves and maids, and although Chunxue wanted to follow Xiyan, she had to retreat.

"Xiyan," the Queen Mother sighed. "Yun Heng looks handsome, and his mouth is ingenious, no wonder you are tempted. But this motivation is motivation, and living a life is another matter. The Queen Mother looked at her, and she felt a little unbearable. In a woman's life, the most important thing is to have a good support. The Queen Mother said earnestly. What is good? It's power! It's rich! It's a prestige that has been accumulated from generation to generation! Are you so conceited and beautiful that you think you can do whatever you want? The Queen Mother sneered, "The mourning family sues you, this man looks at a woman, and it's the same!" What do you have? What else can you afford to give your husband's family besides the surname Heyel? Besides, your surname," the Queen Mother looked at her condescendingly, "If it had been placed ten years ago, when your Ama was still there, these men in the capital would naturally have flocked to it, but now-" The Queen Mother did not say any more, but the meaning of it could not be clearer-the three words Heyele have long been penniless.

Xiyan knelt on the ground, her thin body trembling slightly.

When the Queen Mother saw her like this, she couldn't help but soften her heart and lowered her tone. "Xiyan, the mourning family can point you to marriage and let you marry the scenery, but then what? Do you think you can get married and be full, and you will be a couple for the rest of your life? The Queen Mother shook her head, "You're still too young...... Look at these men in the court, which one of them does not have three wives and four concubines, how many are bright and dark? Is there less intrigue between women? Even if you become a Fujin, a Fujin without a foundation and without the blessing of the family, why do you think that your Fujin can be a long-term Fujin? How can you guarantee that your man will not take a more powerful and beautiful concubine? How can you protect your children from bullying in the future? At that time, the mourning family asked you, how should you deal with yourself? ”

Xiyan sobbed quietly.

"The mourning family asked you to give Li Xuan a side blessing, you feel wronged. But this Rui Wangfu is precisely the place that will treat you the most. Qingfujin treats you, needless to say. Rather if you are a tolerant person, it is even more rare that there is no great family background that can suppress you. The Queen Mother gently pulled up the sunset. As long as you give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, the mother is more expensive than the son, and a mere blessing is worth it? ”

Xiyan didn't speak, nor did she look up.

Not only did she feel wronged, she also felt humiliated! She never thought that she was already a wolf to the point where she was not even worthy of a wife. What made her even more sad was that she clearly knew that what the Queen Mother said was reasonable, and every word was reasonable, and she ...... That's exactly what happened. I think how glorious their Heyele family was back then, but now, there are only four words left "embarrassing".

"Queen Mother, the prince will not be willing to marry me." I don't know how long it took for her to finally speak softly. How ironic, now this has become the only bargaining chip for her to push off this family business.

"Xiyan, you still don't understand men." The Queen Mother smiled disappre一门ly. "Just a person like you is in front of you, I'm afraid that it will be tempting to look at a stone for a long time, let alone a man with strong blood?" The Queen Mother patted her hand, "Li Xuan is not blind or stupid, he will naturally know your good." ”

The Queen Mother was still talking words of comfort to her, but she didn't seem to hear anything. I only remember that I said indifferently at the end: "Xiyan is all up to the Queen Mother." ”

"This is a good boy who is sensible." The Queen Mother smiled reassuringly.

In fact, if it is really said that the Queen Mother just casually chose Li Xuan to marry Xiyan, it would be unfair to the Queen Mother. She had really considered it carefully, and she did think that Li Xuan was the most suitable candidate. Although there are many princes and nobles in the capital, and there are many people who are right with her in age and appearance, it is not easy to find a family that doesn't mind her background. Although Heyele was a famous family in the past, but the talent withered, to her father's generation there was only this bloodline left, and after the death of her parents and brother, there was no one in the clan, and if Xiyan wanted to marry in the future, I am afraid that she would not even be able to get a decent dowry, so she had to rely on the Rui Wangfu to do something for her. This is not the most important thing, after all, Rui Wangfu must be willing to do this for her. But a woman who does not have the support of her mother's family, who can she rely on in the big family in the future? Even if the Queen Mother gave her a marriage, she could be beautiful for a while, but how much could she protect her, and how long could she protect her? Yun Heng is good, and she is willing to fulfill it, but King Su and Fu Jin are not so easy to convince. Today, long before Yun Heng came to beg her, they had already entered the palace early to find a more suitable girl for Yun Heng. The Queen Mother doesn't think they have done anything wrong, after all, as parents, who doesn't want their son to find a worthy daughter-in-law? Not to mention people like them. It's just that I pity Yun Heng's sincerity. It's not that the Queen Mother didn't think about giving Xiyan to Yunheng as a side Fujin, but looking at the attitude of King Su and Fujin, she knew that even if she entered King Su's mansion, Xiyan's life would definitely not be easy, and how long could it last just by relying on the favor of men? She is in the harem, and she naturally thinks more clearly than ordinary women. After thinking about it, Li Xuan was really the best choice. Not to mention that people are handsome and upright, and their temperament is the most gentle, and it is even more rare that they have grown up together since childhood. Moreover, Li Xuan and Ning Ruo have been married for two years, and Ning Ruo has not given birth to a son and a half daughter. Even in ordinary people's homes, this heir is also a big deal, not to mention that he is still in such a prominent position. Wouldn't it be better to have a sunset for him? For Xi Yan, a Fujin without a background is safe, and this principle is also applicable to Ning Ruo. If someone else gave birth to an heir for Li Xuan, it would inevitably threaten her status in the Rui Wangfu, but if this person was Xi Yan, who was as fatherless, motherless and helpless as her, it would be a different matter. Therefore, no matter who you think about it, the Queen Mother feels that this is the best decision. Although the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts were not revealed, Xiyan was a delicate child, and she believed that she would be able to figure out this truth herself.

It's just that the Queen Mother miscalculated one thing: if she let Xiyan choose by herself, even if she wants to be a side Fujin, she would prefer to marry Yun Heng instead of Li Xuan, even if she suffers a lot of trouble in her in-law's family in the future, it is better than being disliked by her husband. But of course, the Queen Mother will not know what Xi Yan thinks, and Xi Yan has no chance to choose at all.
